LAJARES
Authentic Canarian handicrafts can be found in Lajares. The Lajares School of Embroidery is famous for its openwork embroidered tablecloths and serviettes, plus lace items. The school also houses an artesanis (craftshop). Two beautiful restored windmills near the church should also be visited. About 3kms out of town you will find the almost unspoilt fishing village of Mahanicho (pictured left).
Unfortunately, developers have tried to move in, but the building has been forced to stop thanks to environmentalists lobbying the government.
